The scandal of the evangelical mind is that the evangelical mind is darkened by the noetic effects of sin. Hoekema argued that “…sin has poisoned the very fountain of life [therefore] all of life is bound to be affected by it.” Sin cuts through all aspects of our being, and even has consequences to our cognitive faculties. This is true of Christians and non-Christians alike. This is not to say that human depravity has darkened the mind to the extent that human intellect is incapable of knowing truth, beauty, and goodness. The fall did not destroy human reasoning faculties all together.
